Commando Balls

My brother went to Philaselphia with KingdomWorks when he was in college in the 1990s.  He came back with a game that would revolutionize our lives.  There are other games that we like, such as Settler's of Catan, Solarquest, and Mafia.  There may be games that you like such as World of Warcraft, Doom, Monopoly, or Risk.  I don't know what you like, you do.  But one game stands above all other games.  And it is not a game that you can buy in the stores.  It is a game that is taught.  No other game is so much fun.  My wife and I played this game on our first date.  My brother proposed to his wife during the game (she said yes).  What is the game you ask? 
Commando Balls.  J.E. coined the name, and before she named it I think it was just "the game."  How do you play?  Turn all the lights off.  Go to one room with the lights on and door shut.  Draw names.  The one who draws "Killer"  goes out into the darkness and hides with 8 aluminum foil balls (the size of small marbles).  The others are all cops, and after a minute or so go out in search of the killer.  If killed, they must silently drop their ammo (they get 5 foil balls) and go back to the beginning room, without a sound.  How do you get killed, you ask?  By getting hit by a foil ball.  So the killer wants to kill all the cops, and each cop wants to be the one to kill the killer.  But there is a catch.  Not all cops are good.  There is one bad cop, a cop who can kill not only the killer, but also other cops as well.  Once the killer is killed, or all ther cops are killed, the fun starts again after you pick up 53 foil balls in the house.

  1. This game is totally awesome. Especially if you live in a house out in the country where it is really dark, like Danny did, when I first played this game. I know that Jesus has gone and is preparing a place for Danny, and that place is going to have the most perfect set up ever for Commando Balls.
